Pipe-smoking dog may be forced to kick the habit

King Charles spaniel Jasper has become something of a celebrity around Galway, Ireland, because of his unusual habit: smoking a pipe.

Jasper's owner Padraic Sirr is a long-time pipe smoker, and the 18-month-old dog apparently loves to copy his master's habit — minus the tobacco and smoke, of course.

"He gets fierce excited when I ask him where his pipe is," said Sirr, according to the Irish Mirror.

But the pair's mutual love of pipe-smoking is over. Sirr has been forced to quit smoking after a recent diabetes diagnosis, leaving Jasper to puff away on his own — at least until he also gives up to support his best friend.
